I will be playing this song for a gig in which my band only consists of a drummer, vocalist and guitarist (that'd be me). The problem? This song needs at least two guitarists. So, I wrote this tab (A.) For other bands who are in the same dilemma I am (one guitar and a well-layered piece) and (B.)so I could have a printed copy of my version. Place your capo on the 3rd fret on the top 5 strings, leaving low E open so it looks like this: e|-------capo-on-3rd----------| B|-------capo-on-3rd----------| G|-------capo-on-3rd----------| D|-------capo-on-3rd----------| A|-------capo-on-3rd----------| E|-----------open-------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakeven - The Script ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jack Thornton Email: snapplejack2005@yahoo.com Tuning: Standard Chords Used: Em7 |x20000| G |320003| D |xx0232| Cadd9 |x30010| Intro: e|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------| G|---7---7---7---7---7---7--------------------------------| D|-8---8---8---8---8---8---8----7---7-----8----8----8-----| x4 A|----------------------------8---8----10---10---10---10--| E|--------------------------------------------------------| Now here's where the capo-ed trickery bit comes in. Without the capo, you'd play it like this: e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|----3---3---3---3---| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|-3---3----1---1-----| But since you've already got the capo on the third fret on the G string, you play it like this: e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|----0---0---0---0---|Play it twice, then through D|--------------------|the first half of the verse A|--------------------| E|-3---3----1---1-----| Verse: Now, during the second half of the verse, you switch to chords; The whole reason why your guitar was capo-ed!
